Gives Vintage Effect To Photos

In the world of Photoshop various kinds of effects are emerging that they have created, but I am here not so smart to create those effects. I will only give you a little tutorial, that is to add vintage effects to the photos, the effect that I made is not so difficult to follow especially for those of you who are new to Photoshop. 




This is an original photo that I have not given the effect of vintage:

And this is the end result of the addition of the vintage effect:

The final result.

The actual vintage effect is just an adder of the blend colors that we will add later, such as colors: blue, yellow, magenta, pink and much more. But here I will create a vintage effect with blue navy and Burly Wood color, from the combination of both colors will produce the effect we mean it. Just start we step below here. 

Open The Picture 

For the first step, you prepare a photo that you will give the vintage effect by opening the image, or you can also press the shortcut key CTRL+O on the keyboard you are using.

Click and open the image.

Choosing Duplicate Layer

Then we duplicate the background contained in the Photoshop layer panel, using the right click. This function when there is later to fail when editing, you do not need to open the new image again, but you simply delete on the object that has been duplicated. 

Point your mouse pointer over the background that is on the Photoshop layer panel, then right-click and select Duplicate Layer.

Right-click and select duplicate layer.

You will be directed to the background dialog and click the duplicate layer.

Choosing Convert To Smart Object

Now I will add a smart object to the background of the copy earlier, so that when editing is not too many layers in the Photoshop panel.

Right click on the copy background and select convert smart object after you navigate to the background dialog.

Right-click and select C.S.O

And you will be directed to the background dialog and click the convert smart object.

Select Filter => Lens Correction

For the next step, I will add the number of sketches on the object I have, by using the correction lens located on the Photoshop menu. This so that objects and effects look together with the colors of choice we will make.
We go to the Photoshop menu above the options bar, then select the menu Filter in the menu filter many of the features that Photoshop has provided and you simply select the correction lens or you can also press the shortcut key by using Shift + Ctrl + R this step will be more Fast.

Then, after you click on the correction lens, you will be directed to lens correction setting, choose Custom and change Vignette Amount to -30.

This is the result of photos that have been added sketches.

Added Solid Color

It's time to add Solid Color contained in the Photoshop panel, in Photoshop there are millions of colors that can be used. But here I only choose two colors only, the first color that I will use, namely: Blue Navy color is suitable for use because it is not too flashy.

Select the adjustment layer under the Photoshop layer panel and in the first order of solid color you can see, click the solid color. 

Choose solid color.

You will go to the color box of solid color that has been clicked. Then use the 000C42 color code and click OK.

Display that you will see after selecting Blue Navy color.

Example.

The next step we will change the color mode from normal to Exclusion, this function will reverse the navy blue to be behind the object.

Clicking exclusion.

Look at the results you will achieve after you have selected the color mode from normal to exclusion.

And this is the result.

Add Solid Color Again

I will add a second color by using solid color again, the color that I will use this is the color of Burly Wood, because the color match in united with navy blue, you can also replace with other colors, but I think the combination of navy blue. With color Other results are less satisfactory.

Use the D0A45F color code when finished click OK. 

Solid color box.

Display that you will see after selecting Burly Wood color.

Example.

We change the color mode from Normal to Soft Light.

Clicking soft light.

And look at the end result we have.
